How To Stop Intruders? Options

alright so...ive only had this problem once or twice...i guess my dreams arent that interesting but...how to stop eavesdroppers? is there a barrier you can set up while you sleep?

Should charging objects and putting up protections be considered another type of acknowledgement? it CANT be indicative of weakness, can it?

It draws attention like a bunch of pesants building a castle threatens barbarian invaders. Unless they're really intent on taking the castle the barbarians will likely move on to an easier target. But yeah you kind of are sending smoke signals to various nasties. But the signals say "stay away or else". You'd have to be pretty special to really appeal to most of these supernatural critters. If something big wants to get you there isn't much you can do to stop it except put up a big fight, fight dirty kicking and screaming, and hope it goes away. Its like trying to run from a grizzly. If it wants to get you it will. The good news is that very rarely do these kinds of things target people. Especially healthy people.

it sounds like you are experienced in the ways of 'barbarianism' acid! or are you just trying to speak my language? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/horse.gif) anyhoo, the castle is worthless until its built. no lords or ladies, or possible treasure hidden within. Just a bunch of thralls moving stones and putting up useless walls.

Not to say im particularly worried about myself. But i figure, while im studying dream defense 101 i should observe every little crack in the fortress of knowledge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hmm.gif) i like a good challenge. lets see how long i can use this analogy... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hands.gif) WHAT IF, metaphorically speaking, these barbarians...who happen to be passing through, are educated barbarians...and they think..."oh these peasants are building a castle...in the future i know where to pilfer cuz they MUST be building this castle for SOME reason. Besides, whose endorsing it?...and what could they possibly be planning to do with so much space? Potentially, a rich spendthrift decided to put his mistress away in the country...but then again, if they could so blatantly afford it in the first place why would they be using cheap labor as opposed to the long term cost effective mason worker?" (hehe)
Being clever barbarians that they are, theyde figure all kind of factors opposing such a silly economic venture...After all, castles depreciate with time and local barbarians must drastically reduce the housing's appraisal and purchase value...and then theyd all decide as a group that castles were a very disagreeable prospect because of so many indeterminate factors...and theyd all realize investing was the wisest choice. Unfortuanately, theres always that one person...who would pipe up and remind them, "Hey we're barbarians. Not priests...pilfer!!!!!!" and theyde all revert to stupid people who attack whatever looks the biggest and shiniest cuz theres a remote possibility of booty.

well acid?
